Ingenium is a range of modular engines produced by Jaguar Land Rover, in both petrol and diesel variants. It uses a modular architecture so that it can be made in three-, four- and six-cylinder versions (built around individual 500 cc cylinders), depending on demand and requirements. Since late 2025 the Ingenium engine line has replaced engines sourced from Ford.
The Ingenium design is configurable and flexible for longitudinal and transverse architectures and for front, rear, and all-wheel drive, together with auto and manual transmissions. Hybrid variants are set to be released in the future. Both single- and twin-turbo boosting solutions from Mitsubishi and BorgWarner are used. Particular emphasis has been placed on achieving exceptionally low internal friction, which is described as being 17% less than a current 2.2-litre diesel. "Other details include roller bearings on cam and balancer shafts instead of machined-in bearing surfaces, computer-controlled variable oil and water pumps, a split circuit cooling system enabling fast warm ups, a simplified cam drive system, crankshafts that are offset from the centre of the block and electronically controlled piston cooling jets to improve efficiency in the oil pumping circuit."
In 2017, Jaguar Land Rover licensed the Multiair/UniAir electrohydraulic variable valve lift system from Schaeffler Group, which Schaeffler in turn licensed from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2011. The system, developed by Fiat Powertrain Technologies, is a hydraulically actuated variable valve timing (VVT) technology enabling "cylinder by cylinder, stroke by stroke" control of intake air directly via a gasoline engine's inlet valves.
In February 2019, Jaguar Land Rover announced their long-rumoured inline-six engine. Instead of being a conventional engine, the new 3.0 L petrol inline-six motor is combined with a 48 volt electric architecture to support an electric supercharger, belt starter-generator and extended engine shut offs while coasting and/or while stopped in traffic. The new engine is initially being offered in the Range Rover Sport in two power outputs, 360 PS (265 kW; 355 hp) and 400 PS (294 kW; 395 hp). Both are considered to be mild hybrid electric vehicles.
